Purchasers of the Career Criminal Edition of PayDay 2 can now jump
in and experience the Beta!

PAYDAY 2 is an action-packed, four-player co-op shooter that once again lets
gamers don the masks of the original PAYDAY crew - Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and
Chains - as they descend on Washington DC for an epic crime spree.

The new CRIMENET network offers a huge range of dynamic contracts, and players
are free to choose anything from small-time convenience store hits or
kidnappings, to big league cyber-crime or emptying out major bank vaults for
that epic PAYDAY. While in DC, why not participate in the local community, and
run a few political errands?

Up to four friends co-operate on the hits, and as the crew progresses the jobs
become bigger, better and more rewarding. Along with earning more money and
becoming a legendary criminal comes a new character customization and crafting
system that lets crews build and customize their own guns and gear.
